If I Only Had a Brain...

We got so much accomplished this weekend! There was just the right amount of productivity and relaxation that I really didn't want it to end.
However...
I must admit that the term "pregnancy brain" has infiltrated our home.  I tried to look up a definition online of the term pregnancy brain, but could only find explanations like this one:
"Pregnancy and motherhood don't cause women to have memory lapses and other cognitive problems, even though the concept of ''pregnancy brain'' and ''momnesia'' are widely accepted, according to a new Australian study."

I wouldn't say that it's all memory lapse, I'd say it's that things just don't come as quickly and c o r r e c t l y  as they used to. Tim is hoping, no praying, that my brain is back to its old self again once the baby comes, but friends say it doesn't happen as quickly as you'd like because then the lack of sleep + the to-do factors take over. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. 

Pregnancy Brain Example #1: 

I was making dinner the other day and continued to open the freezer every time I meant to open the fridge. I must have put freezer foods in the fridge 3 times and every time I did it I laughed at myself. 

Pregnancy Brain Example #2:

Shampooing my hair twice in the shower yesterday morning!

Pregnancy Brain Example #3:

As we were getting the different parts of the crib out of it's large box on Sunday, I was stating how shocked I was that I couldn't find the directions anywhere. Tim started giggling and then got his phone out and was taking a picture of me. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was just going to let his Mom and his Brother in on our game of Eye Spy to find the directions. I looked behind me and BAM! there were the directions taped to one of the sides of the crib. Geesh! Talk about feeling silly! 

I'm sure that there are a lot more examples, but those are the ones that stand out right now. Here's hoping that for the most part my brain stays intact.
